Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 360 The Good News of Kars

Compared with "Ghost Fighting Ghost", the lineup of "Mr. Zombie" can be said to be richer.

Lin Zhengying, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Zhong Fa, Xu Guanying, Chen You, and the two newcomers Zhong Chuhong and He Jiajin are enough to meet the requirements of most audiences.

And in terms of the plot of the story, "Mr. Zombie" is much better than "Ghost Fighting Ghost".

Mr. Ren from a wealthy family was ordered by a Feng Shui master when his father was buried. He had to raise his coffin and move the burial 20 years later, so he asked the local Maoshan master Uncle Jiu to help with the matter.

On the day when the coffin was lifted, it was discovered that the cemetery of Mrs. Ren was a dragonfly water cave, and his corpse had not shown any signs of corruption in the past 20 years, causing Uncle Jiu to become suspicious.

In addition to the plot, many details of this drama are also unanimously sought after by the audience, such as the scene of holding your breath to hide from zombies, which made everyone enjoy watching it.

Compared with "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", Lin Zhengying's Uncle Nine has been unanimously approved by everyone, and many people even think that Lin Zhengying is actually a Maoshan Taoist priest.

After "Mr. Zombie" was released on the first day, the box office reached 150 million. In addition to the good filming of this movie, part of it is due to Lin Daoqiu's credit.

The audience has already developed a sense of trust in the name Lin Daoqiu, as if treating him as a brand.

As long as the film and television written by Lin Daoqiu will be sought after by the audience, and this situation started from "Mission Impossible".

Almost everyone is unanimously optimistic, and this "Mr. Zombie" will definitely win a box office record of more than 2000 million in the end.

But as for whether it can break the record of "Mission Impossible", it depends on the follow-up box office trend to reach a conclusion.

But I believe that at this time, almost everyone will not doubt that "Mr. Zombie" will lose to "Ghost Fighting Ghost" at the box office.

You must know that "Ghost Fighting Ghost" only reached 1200 million at the box office under the blessing of the double-screening, while "Mr. Zombie" was only screened in one theater in New Oriental.

…………

"The box office of "Mr. Zombie" is so good, it seems that Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have nothing to do with you, haha..."

On this day, Kars suddenly came to Lin Daoqiu, and as soon as he sat down, he talked about "Mr. Zombie", which was recently screened in Xiangjiang.

At this time, "Mr. Zombie" has been released for seven days, and the box office has already broken through the tens of millions mark, and the attendance rate has remained high. It seems that it is only a matter of time before it breaks 2000 million.

"I'm very poor now, I hope you can bring me good news today."

Lin Daoqiu is not in the mood to talk nonsense with Kars, he only has less than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars left in his hands, and the rest of the money has already been spent.

Moreover, "Godzilla" is already in production, and Magic Studio is still burning money. Lin Daoqiu has to find a way to make money now.

"It seems that this time I came at the right time."

Kars looked very proud, and it seemed that his visit brought good news to Lin Daoqiu.

After all, it has been so long since Chinese New Year, and Lin Daoqiu felt that Kars should have gained something.

"I went around Hollywood, and finally I found that Paramount is the most sincere, and Mr. Diller wants to meet with you, and he plans to interview you."

The news brought by Carls is not bad for Lin Daoqiu. After all, Barry Diller is a very insightful and capable person.

His opponents described him as a passionate, decisive, determined guy, and even gave him the nickname "The Killer".

And it was he who entered Paramount, which was facing bankruptcy, at the age of 32. Relying on the release of films such as "Star Trek" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he achieved good box office results and successfully saved Paramount.

It is a good thing for Lin Daoqiu to cooperate with such a person. Perhaps Lin Daoqiu has no choice at all now.

"No problem, I will go to Hollywood with you to meet him in a while."

Lin Daoqiu is indeed poor now, and he needs money very much, but the movie "Home Alone" must be released before Christmas to achieve better box office results.

It's only June now, and there is still half a year before Christmas. It will take less than two months for him to film "Home Alone", so Lin Daoqiu is not in a hurry to meet the other party.

"It's up to you to decide, just call me when you want to leave."

Kars' mission this time is half completed, as long as Lin Daoqiu can negotiate with Barry Diller, then his mission will be considered complete.

…………

After training in Hong's class for a month, Brigitte Lin finally got back her slightly bulging belly.

At the beginning, when Brigitte Lin first came to Hong's class, many people thought she was pregnant, otherwise why would her stomach be a little bulging.

If it wasn't for the fact that her lower abdomen gradually lost weight after intensive training, everyone would have thought Brigitte Lin was pregnant with Lin Daoqiu's child, but in fact they haven't broken through that relationship yet.

After doing a high leg raise, Brigitte Lin just stood firm when she heard the sound of applause from behind, sweating profusely Lin Qingxia turned around and saw the guy who made her gnash her teeth.

If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have to practice in Hong's class every day for a whole month until I was half dead tired.

So when she looked at Lin Daoqiu, there was a feeling of jealousy in her eyes when meeting an enemy.

"I'm here to visit the class, so don't look at me like this."

Lin Daoqiu found that Brigitte Lin's gaze was a bit unkind, so he could only laugh a few times, trying to use this method to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene.

I don't know if Lin Daoqiu's words played a role, Brigitte Lin slowly withdrew that murderous look after listening.

"I practice half to death every day and I haven't seen you come to visit the class."

It turned out that Lin Qingxia was angry because Lin Daoqiu never came to Hong's class to see herself.

"I didn't come because I was worried that seeing you working so hard would make you stop practicing for a moment, so I could only force myself not to come."

Lin Daoqiu walked to Lin Qingxia and sat down, then looked at her tenderly in her ear.

Originally, there were quite a few people practicing martial arts around, but when Lin Daoqiu arrived, they were kicked out by Zhong Fa, and even Zhong Fa was invited outside by Fang Jinsheng.

"I don't even know if what you said is true."

Although Brigitte Lin said this, her tone has softened a lot. It seems that Lin Daoqiu's words have a very obvious effect.

"Of course it's true. In order to reward you for working so hard during this time, let's go to eat western food tonight. I've already reserved the seats, and I'll choose your favorite western restaurant."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Brigitte Lin had a slight smile on her face.

The purpose of Lin Daoqiu's coming here today is not only to have a candlelight dinner with Brigitte Lin, but also to discuss the new play with her.
